Last time I asked about it, I was told that nobody wants to make VE-related tutorials because VE is still changing, so people don't want to waste time creating video tutorials or such that may be obsolete tomorrow.

I do think it should be possible to create some video tutorials that about basic features that are unlikely to change, plus we should have a VE-equivalent for Wikipedia:Training/For students, but.. it's strange, WMF states that VE is one of their priorities, but clearly, advertising/teaching about VE isn't.

Hi all,

Is there a lesson plan available for an editor training workshop that uses VisualEditor? New editors seem to prefer learning VE but all lesson plans that I know of use the traditional wikitext interface.

I would like to be able to teach new editors the basics of editing and referencing using VE, plus talk pages using wikitext, in a one hour format.

Thanks,

Pine
